Beauty Is A Perilous Gift.

One Century's Saint Is The Next Century's Heretic ... And One Century's Heretic Is The Next Century's Saint. It Is As Well To Think Long And Calmly Before Affixing Either Name To Any Man.

Bitter Though It May Be To Many, Cadfael Concluded, There Is No Substitute For Truth, In This Or Any Case.

Truth Is A Hard Master, And Costly To Serve, But It Simplifies All Problems.

Truth, Like The Burgeoning Of A Bulb Under The Soil, However Deeply Sown, Will Make Its Way To The Light.

Every Man Has Within Him Only One Life And One Nature ... It Behooves A Man To Look Within Himself And Turn To The Best Dedication Possible Those Endowments He Has From His Maker. You Do No Wrong In Questioning What Once You Held To Be Right For You, If Now It Has Come To Seem Wrong. Put Away All Thought Of Being Bound. We Do Not Want You Bound. No One Who Is Not Free Can Give Freely.
